AbstractThe basic aim of this work is (1) to review and present practically operational requirements for asustainability assessment of marine environment, such as describing the monitoring process, researchapproaches, objectives, guidelines, and indicators and (2) to illustrate how physico-chemical andbiological indicators can be practically applied, to assess water and sediment quality in marine andcoastal environment. These indicators should meet defined criteria for practical usefulness, e.g. theyshould be simple to understand and apply to managers and scientists with different educationalbackgrounds. This review aimed to encapsulate that variability, recognizing that meaningful guidanceshould be flexible enough to accommodate the widely differing characteristics of marine ecosystems.
